Gibbons' Second Part of WATCHMEN Set Visit

Nice, i'm liking all the attention to detail they're putting into the film. I'm still gonna wait for it to pass judgement though. But it seems to be shaping up great.

There's an article in the new Wizard Magazine featuring an interview with Alan Moore where he is talking mess about Warner V For Vendetta and the Watchmen movie. I like that guy.

I must say though, I liked the film version of V For Vendetta very much and look forward to Watchmen (despite completely hating its director's last film, that being 300)...but then again, I have never read the V For Vendetta comic, so I can't compare the two...and the Watchmen comic is a bore fest...albeit with some good ideas. The specific good idea that I am refering to, and that which distinguish it from all other comics at the time, is that Alan Moore incorporated real world politics and real political/historical figures in the text of the story arc, other than that...really...The New Teen Titans under Marv Wolfman and George Perez, The X-Men of the mid 70s/early 80s, The Legion of Super of the late 70s/early 80s...and Heavy Metal Magazine, are better works in my opinion.

WTF metalwater, I'm so drunk I'm gonna shut up right now. Maybe once I've sobered up I can respond to your 'bore fest' comment. Until then please don't add any 'secret happy crap sandwich' info that dare not speak it's name. Damn. Bore fest?!? I'm too drunk for this!

Bore fest? Funny, That's the same way i feel everytime i try to read a comment by metalwater. That's why i don't even finish reading them, They're just too Damn long, and they really don't make a coherent point. Anyways, although i like the movie v for vendetta, i hated the fact that they played it safe from the book and did not handle the character V properly. I will reserve my judgment for watchmen but i will not get my hopes high for this movie either.

Everybody on this thread is correct. V for Vendetta was a cool movie I guess, but I agree with LOTRSUX, they tried to make it MORE relevant, when it was already PLENTY relevant enough. They did in fact play it safe, which entirely ruined the point of the story. And I'm with ya Joeybaloney, Borefest?...what a douche. It was a borefest if you have the attention span the length of a gnats dick. If you like reading a very well written mystery graphic NOVEL, not a funny book, like kool-aid is most likely more used to , then The Watchmen is the shiz-nit. And it was one of the first of it's kind, putting superheroes in waaaay more realistic settings, than other comics.
I gotta finish getting drunk now.

Watchmen was and is an over hyped bore fest and we all know it, thus I will not respond in turn to your personal attacks. The movie has a chance to quicken the pace of the story...and get to the meatier plot points, however 300...was a soul-less journey of digital filmmaking absent a true narrative pulse, just a lot of yelling...threats, homo erotic moments, endless speeches and slo-mo fighting...backed by more yelling...threats, homo erotic moments, endless speeches and slo-mo fighting...backed by more yelling...threats, homo erotic moments, endless speeches and slo-mo fighting.

Although I am hopeful that the director of 300 does a amazing job with Watchmen...making it a better work than the over talkie and slow paced graphic novel that it is based on, thanks to the advantages of film being a moving audio/visual medium with music, sound effects, panning, craning, and trucking cameras...that and tracking action. This, the visual advantage of motion pictures, for instance, will serve to make the graveyard montage scene work much better...as well as the attempted rape scene-giving them more weighty and emotional impact...lowered in the visual medium of flat panel comic book art and thought and speaking balloons. There was alot of fat in Watchmen that slowed the proceedings and hurt the progress of the story...taking away from the pathos gained in a number of scenes.

As for now, I am remaining neutral in terms of my enthusiam for this project until I see the movie.

hey dickless, uh I mean kool-aid,
NO we don't " all know this" and stupid dumb shit statements like that are why you get attacked. say that in your opinion it was something or just say it BUT DON"T presume to tell me or others what we all know ...ASSHAT.
Oh yeah and get this, IT'S NOT AN ACTION STORY, IT"S A MYSTERY , A DRAMA, get dumbass, oh yeah, Merry Christmas

Mysteries are helped with better pacing. Sherlock Holmes is a great example of doing it right.

way to avoid the subject of imposing your views of Watchmen on others. good job

Gb-420, dude, you are arguing with someone who judge movies way before they open, and who's opinions are so laughable, only someone with a very low i.q. Would agree with him.. Hell, i bet you he hasn't even read watchman, or maybe he tried, and couldn't get past the first page cause it was too complex for him to understand...
